As it stands now, Houston's official presence at SXSW is mostly of the hip-hop variety, but plenty of locals are working unofficial shows and parties, garage-rockers Mikey & the Drags for one.

National names added today include Vampire Weekend, who will be premiering new music, Trinidad Jame$, Thurston Moore's new band Chelsea Light Moving, Jake Bugg, American Idol vet Kris Allen, Eagles of Death Metal, Clutch, Icona Pop, Merchandise, The Skatalites and many more names that I know but don't care to mention.

Here's hoping Dave Grohl's Sound City band makes an appearance since he is the keynote speaker this time around. That Bruce dude from Jersey brought his band last year, so it only seems fitting that Grohl do the same.
